Then perhaps it wasn't Breen forces we engaged? Perhaps these are not Breen bodies we recovered? Perhaps the wreckage of our ships is not floating in the vicinity of 372?

Unfortunately, we have hard evidence.

[Deepcrush]

Your ISA, is of the Federation who has proven time and again it can not even be trusted with its own treaties and the Gorn who, like the Klingon Empire, are months travel away from the site and have only outside words to go on. Even the Federation News Service states that the ships met at your shared borders and not in neutral space.

Until new evidence is presented it, the Breen reports concur with the independent sources outside of the Confederacy. There for we have only two possible conclusions and that is Cardassian ships were either in error or at intent. The fact that your police allowed bodies to be brought back by your military and then dragged through your streets shows it was nothing more then a political stunt.

[Reliant121]

We have so far seen no evidence either way.

We would offer to send a detatchment of ships to verify either way if this is preferable, but we doubt the ISA will value our opinion due to our lack of neutrality.

In this case, we would wish to ask the involved nations to submit the system to inspection via a neutral party. and in that, we would wish to invite the FKI as the only neutral power among the races present.

[Tsukiyumi]

Apparently, this entire incident was the work of an entity the Federation call "Q", and no citizens on either side were harmed at all in the supposed attack. As perplexing as this is, it has shown that at least the Cardassian and Breen races are not willing to jump to conclusions, and go to war without understanding the facts. We now regret the executions of all of our regional commanders, and will keep an eye out for this "Q" entity in the future. We do not need any additional enemies.

[Reliant121]

We are glad that the issue has been resolved. We would suggest the repatriation of the deceased regional commanders, as a sign of good faith.

The Breen Confederacy wishes to to announce the premiere of our newest vessel, an anti-Hur'q platform we have designated as a Torpedo Cruiser by deploying five of them to the defense fleet at the Delta Quadrant terminus of the anomaly in Gorn space. If the Federation wishes, we can circumvent their space, but we would prefer to have these vessels in place as soon as possible. We will, naturally, follow any course the Federation dictates.

[Nickswitz]

The Sheliak would like to know what information there is on the Hur'q as if now? How far are they from the terminus? How many ships do they have? Any information would be reassuring.

The last information the Confederacy has on the Hur'q places them several years away from the anomaly. However, this could change at any moment, and they are most assuredly coming. The Confederacy has expended a large amount of resources to develop technology we believe will help combat them, but the cooperation of the entire region will almost certainly be required to face an enemy that can humble the Borg.

They have access to our space through the same rout your first set of ships took.

Our last recon mission placed the Hur'q three years away from the wormhole at their best speed, and that is if they didn't stop to feed on anything along the way. At that time they were moved away from the wormhole toward a Borg planet, presumably to feed. We weren't able to gather intel on the status of the war, however, star fleet analysis have suggested that it may not be as one sided as we first thought. The fact that the Borg still have structures so deep in the Delta quadrant suggests that they are somewhat successful in fighting the Hur'q down before being overcome. We are watching the situation closely and will immediately make an announcement if anything important is discovered. The Commander will also answer private questions and requests as they arise.

:::looks at the Sheliak ambassador:::

With respect, the Cardassian people would like an explination for the Sheliak developing Weapons of Mass Destruction. Such weapons have been outlawed by any and all galactic powers for much of recorded history.

We appreciate both the consideration of safe passage, and the new intel.

The FKI echos these concerns and believes this is very bad for business stability within the region. In our view there is only one purpose for such a test, to demonstrate the weapon and capability in preparation to either threaten another power or sell the weapon on an open market in an attempt to corner that market.

[Reliant121]

I would hope that the original intentions of the device were that of colonization, much like the Genesis project was in its outset. The ambassadors here will recognise the significance of creating a utopian colony world.

However, we feel that since the Genesis device has been proved in two, seperate incidents to do little but destroy the worlds it is tested on, it has failed in its purpose. In failing its purpose as an ideal terraforming device, it has instead transformed itself into a tool of death. And since it such, it is both highly illegal and highly unwanted. Not only are Weapons of mass destruction galactically unnacceptable, the proto-matter that was likely used in its formulation is also an illegal substance among most races.

We are in no position to demand anything from the Sheliak Corperation, but we are one of the closest nations to feel its effects and wish to seek assurances that the weapon will not be used for war.

[Nickswitz]

This weapon is not a weapon as such, it was much as the Genesis device of the federation, we are attepting to stabilize the results, on small scale tests we had positive results on two forms of the device, and wished to test them full-scale, these tests failed, however, due to data collected we believe we may be coming close to a solution to the long term instability of the device. This is a device of peace, and we wish for it to only be used as such, and as the offer was extended to the Turei and the Romulans any whom wish to help will be accepted in, however we will not allow the device we have that is being tested and worked on, to be removed from Sheliak space, as the more who have their hands on this technology the more danger all are placed in.

We are not using the same proto-matter of the genesis device, but a far more stable substance, that is currently named after the scientist who developed it. This substance has lead to the device maintaining a safe habitat among small moons that have become thriving Eco-systems surrounding some of our uninhabited planets. However any attempt to reproduce this affect on a larger scale has resulted in the same effect as these planets.

We will inform all of our progress if we will be allowed to continue attempting to enhance this technology to make for easier and safer colonization.

[Mark]

Let me first say that at the moment, I speak only for Cardassia, and not the Inter-Stellar Alliance.

You may indeed have the best of intentions, but what you are in reality developing, is a device that can and will destroy all existing life on a planet. Can you absolutely guarantee, without any shred of doubt, that this tech will NEVER, EVER be used as a weapon, by ANY sentient life form in the Milky Way galaxy?
